At precisely midnight, the time changes to the next day. It marks the start of a new day and is a common time for activities such as ringing in the new year, beginning a celebration, or simply sleeping.

I think there is some flexibility in the definition of the word midnight that leaves it somewhat open to interpretation. I tend to think of midnight as having no length but rather being the point in time at the end of 23:59:59 and at the beginning of 00:00:00. However, I don't think it would be wrong to think of it as the entire second from 00:00:00 to 00:00:01 or even the entire minute from 00:00 to 00:01. I try to avoid using the word since the worldwide consolidation of areas into standard time zones and the practice of Daylight Saving Time or Summer Time in many places has caused the word to become somewhat of a misnomer. For example, where I live, the middle of the night, the midpoint between sunset and sunrise, is between 01:30 and 01:45 during two thirds of each year.

the total one day completes in 24 hours as one rotation around the sun by the earth is completed in 24 hours and 25% more but we take that extra day in the leap year as we cannot add 6 hours every year now midnight is considered on 12 am of the night this actually night ,dark but actually a new day starts here

Nothing spectacular happens at this time. The Sun is close to its lowest point (usually under the horizon), but due to the way time zones work, and due to the so-called "equation of time", this is not exact, meaning that between the Sun's lowest position under the horizon, and the clock marking 0:00 midnight, there may be a difference of sometimes half an hour or more.
